EKGDX is the only software in the world capable of generating any twelve-lead EKG with a format identical to the real ones. It is considered the best EKG simulator ever. The educational part of the platform is focused on interactive learning, combined with graphic explanations and clinical-anatomical correlation. It is a superb addition to the library of every medical student, nurse, intern, resident, physicians in practice, cardiology fellows that are interested in improving their interpretation of EKGs and preparing for board examinations.

How much does EKGDX cost?

EKGDX contains Volume I and II. Volume I is $9.99/month (subscription) and Volume II is $59.99 for 6 months access.

What the EKG DX name means?

The initial idea was to develop an artificial intelligence (still in development) that diagnoses any type of EKG. That is why we decided the name EKGDX. EKG stands for electrocardiogram and DX stands for diagnosis. The decision of the "K" in the word EKG, is in honor of Wilhelm Einthoven.

How does EKGDX differ from other books?

Currently, most physicians, nurses and students experience problems when performing an adequate interpretation of an EKG, and this is due to several factors. To solve this GLOBAL problem, we created an interactive and didactic tool that facilitates the learning process in a different way.

Let’s talk about 2:1 AV Block.

Second-degree AV block 2:1, is characterized by the presence of alternating sinus conducted P waves and blocked P waves. It cannot be classified into type I or type II because there is only one PR interval to examine the blocked P wave. A long rhythm strip may help by recording an episode of changing conduction ratio and observing the behavior of the PR interval.

Criteria

Every other P wave is nonconducted (blocked).

NOTE: If the conduction improves with atropine or exercise, or worsens with carotid sinus massage, the block is in the AV node.

NOTE: If the conduction worsens with atropine or exercise, or improves with carotid sinus massage, the block is within or below of the bundle of His.

NOTE: Always look for those hidden P wave that somtimes merges with preceding T wave.

NOTE: If the QRS is narrow and the PR is normal, Mobitz I is likely present. If the QRS is wide and the PR is normal, Mobitz II should be considered (exceptions apply).

Graphic explanation

Ventriculophasic sinus arrhythmia in the setting of 2:1 AV block. Note that the PP interval containing the QRS is shorter than the PP interval without the QRS.

This is a nice example of 2:1 AV block in the setting of RBBB. What else do you see? More cases available in EKGDX.

Do you want to practice with complex EKGs?

If you are a cardiology fellow who needs to practice for the ABIM cardiology board or you are someone who wants to practice with complex 12-lead EKGs, our Volume II is what you need.
